Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
This statement violates the accounting equation, which states that Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity. If Total Assets decreased by $30,000 and Owner's Equity decreased by $35,000, it means that the liabilities would have decreased by $5,000 (not increased by $65,000). The correct equation would be: Total Assets - Total Liabilities = Owner's Equity.
